Yes you CAN put an "S" motor in an "A" chassis but it's pretty involved to do correctly. With the 3SGTE, I'd already have around 250HP and wouldn't need to crack open the motor or tune like I would if I was shooting for that HP in an AF/AG motor. I'd have to look into it, but I would think hunting down all the necessary GZE and turbo parts, doing the wiring, getting the needed pieces to tune it and getting the necessary machine work done would take around the same amount of money as getting a complete ST215 engine/trans/harness/ecu, but take a significant amount more time.
I'm not 100% but I've heard that the original 7AFE rods are like toothpicks. I'd have to think that if it were left mostly factory on the original tune, it would be pretty reliable.
No need to take apart the motor before it goes in and no need for tuning. I've always been aware of the 4AGE's potential for this chassis, but I've looked toward the 3SGTE for a few reasons.įirst of all, I won't have to do anything to the 3SGTE to already have well over 200HP. Your goals are easily exceeded with just the 4AGE setup. Here is a NZ 7AGTE AE92 (1.8L hybrid motor) that has 340wkw. Engine management should be easy as they have megasquirt pnp for this. Without the GZE pistons you could easily reach 250hp. I've seen dynos of ~300whp with a GT2860 turbo. I'm at work so a lot of sites are blocked but I know i've seen FWD 4AGE turbo manifolds for sale.ĤAGE is a perfectly good engine with lots of support, no reason to swap it. You can put GZE pistons in and turbo it and get good results. Then, someone shoots the idea down and an argument ensues without anyone showing evidence.Īnyone here familiar with what does actually work for this? There seems to be only speculation and hear-say that Camry and 4th/5th/6th Gen Celica suspensions can swap over. I've seen plenty of pictures of overseas AE10X chassis Corolla's sporting 5 lug suspensions and rear discs, but can't seem to find how they attained it. What I can't seem to get a clear answer on is what else from other Toyota's can transfer over to improve other areas of the car. It appears it can be done with a combination of Rav4, Celica, Camry and SW20 MR-2 parts, a little drilling for one mount, and some involved wiring which can easily and affordably be outsourced. I also learned that tossing one into a 93-97 Corolla/Prizm chassis isn't nearly as involved as I had once thought.
Out of boredom today, I learned that the Gen III and IV 3SGTE motors are rated at over 250HP and getting an imported example isn't unreasonably priced. I've tossed around the idea of different 4AGE swaps, but none of them seem to have real easy high-HP potential. I still miss my Geo Prizm, and I've had big dreams of getting another one someday and making it into a serious sleeper.
